This is excellent advice! I recently saw a woman brought to tears over embroidered blocks her mother had made which she put into a quilt THEN washed it and the embroiderly floss ran.
As for charging, I occasionally make quilts for commission and have the customer pay for the fabric up front, then charge them $8.00 per hour for my work. I know that's not a lot, but it beats a set price per quilt that ends up giving me $2.00 per hour and I have a steady income for the family expenses so the quilt income allows me to purchase more fabric and supplies for my quilting.
